The Nuclear Energy Management School (NEMS) developed by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was introduced in Japan in 2012 and has been annually held since then. The Japanese organizers conducted surveys to assess the educational effects of the annual NEMS in Japan so that three-week school program will be improved. The results of the surveys show that the balance and the quality of the lectures have steadily improved through close communication between lecturers and program coordinators in the preparatory stage. Case studies were effective educational tools for the school participants to understand how nuclear energy management policies taught during the school are practiced in the nuclear sector in reality. The orientation and homework prior to the school and the combination of lectures and assignment during the program can largely contribute to improve the participants’ sense of accomplishment.
